Meh…
House was ok - the windows were super dirty though, which was a shame because the view is spectacular. Deck was dirty, covered in pollen and dust, so couldn’t spend much time out there. We were super disappointed in the town as a whole because nothing was open! Restaurants and shops are still closed Mon-Thur, which was when we were there. Assumed that since it was spring break, that more would be open. As a result, we had to have most of our meals at the house. Spent lots of money to just sit and watch Netflix all week! 🙁

Wonderful Peaceful Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful home with a gorgeous waterfront view from both the outdoor deck and indoor family room. A very comfortable and modern home that was very well appointed. The kitchen had all the amenities necessary for cooking meals. The hosts were very helpful and provided excellent communications that helped make it an easy place to find, stay, and relax. We thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of Orcas Island, and the tranquility of our accommodation. We hope to return someday soon.

Ocean View - Close to Moran State Park
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this property and its location around the corner from Rosario Resort and Moran State Park. Rosario is a pickup point for Shearwater and Deer Harbor - sea kayaking and whale watching 5 min away! Views from property are spectacular although no beach access. Well equipped kitchen and 15 min from Eastsound grocery stores. We fell in love with Mountain Lake. Wonderful loop trail for walking/running followed by a swim in the lake.

Perfect Vacation Home
We stayed for a week in this lovely vacation cabin overlooking Orcas Sound. It was very quiet here, broken only by the occasional sound of a landing float plane. The cabin is equipped with everything one might need - from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedrooms. The wi-fi and TV systems worked flawlessly. The deck is very spacious and the views spectacular. We even had an occasional visit from an unafraid forked horn buck, still in full velvet - beautiful. The cabin is within easy reach of anywhere on the island and we explored it from end to end. Really nice hiking trails at Obstruction Pass State Park. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the island.

Peaceful Home with Beautiful Waterfront Views
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect location for relaxing, enjoying the scenery, and bird watching. Very convenient location in close proximity to Moran State Park, the Rosario resort, and Eastsound. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more and will definitely recommend this to others who stay on Orcas Island.

Magical Stay
Island Myth is a beautiful, cozy place. The views are amazing, and we sat by the fire, looking out the windows much of the time on our stay. We truly relaxed there. We had everything we needed, with a fully stocked kitchen, and the beds were so comfortable. We walked down to Rosario, and loved that we were so close to Moran State Park! Highly recommend!!!!

Delicious. Scrumptious. Cozy
Our first morning greeted us with a pink/rosy dawn tinging a glorious, indeed enviable view of the water as we drank our first cup of coffee, with a warm fire keeping us snug. A short drive to ‘the town of East Sound or Rosario Resort occasionally beckoned, affording us quality coffee or cocktails as desired. But really, why leave this comfortable and well appointed home once you have enough food and beverages at your disposal?

Large Deck with views of the water
The best part of the property is the deck. We loved the views of the water watched numerous boats, sea planes and birds. Large Lot with deer and birds visiting often. The house is comfortable with one king bed and two single beds in the nook above the garage more for kids than adults. You can walk down to Rosario harbor and the resort in a few minutes. About a 15 minute drive into Eastsound downtown area.

Second two week visit
Our 2 weeks this July was our second stay at Island Myth. Obviously we enjoy it very much. Great location – quiet but near enough to many activities, restaurants, Eastsound, etc. Great for a couple. Or for parents with small children – the smaller bedroom is a loft. A place for real relaxation, or as a base for Orcas daytime adventures all over the island. Would rent again for sure.

Unbelievable!
I would like to say this property was horrible so it's available the next time we want to go! BUT....it was absolutely perfect! The house is well maintained, the property management was very communicative and the VIEW was unbelievably amazing! Oh and if you are a bird person, the birds were singing and so many different species. I even saw a bald eagle a couple of times one day - oh and a deer in the neighbors yard. If you want to get away in God's creation - this is the place to do it!

Majestic Spot
This house is a dream! Starting with the view, just perfection! Even better than pictures can show. We spent 5 nights there during the last week of June and it was just beyond wonderful! Our family of 4, including our 8 and 10 year old sons. House had everything we needed. Location was perfect. Bed was super comfortable. And we lucked out with spectacular weather. Sitting on that deck with my book and glass of wine every afternoon was heavenly! I cannot say enough to describe how amazing our trip was. We shucked oysters at buck bay, went whale watching with Deer Harbor charters from Rosario, spent the day at Moran State Park, shopped at Orcas Pottery, and explored the quaint town. Then made dinner each night at the house. Absolute perfection! You’d be crazy to not book this spot for your time on Orcas Island.

My husband, son and I stayed in this beautiful home & celebrated my 60th Birthday! The house was very comfortable for the 3 of us and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare some nice meals! My son used the grill and I had a wonderful b-day dinner. We would definitely come back & stay again. I do wish they had an outdoor dining table for us to use but we did enjoy the lounge chairs and had coffee & cocktails to enjoy that spectacular view. One day 2 bald eagles flew right in front of us and stopped for a few minutes in the trees! Such a great nature experience

Dreamy quant cabin
We had a wonderful time here. The location is incredible with a east facing wall of windows for beautiful sunsets. Easy to get to and a great location within a couple miles of Moran State Park. We had 4 adults. The bedroom (not master) could fit 3 with a twin pullout, but 4 adults was good. Single bathroom. The property was well stocked and very clean. It had a washer and dryer, which was a nice amenity. Overall, we loved the time there and feel like we found a gem. So, I am sharing this review so that others can enjoy it...unless we want to rent it again that weekend ;-)
